Chapter 237: The Infinite Apocalypse
The next morning, Gongsun Ce followed Yu Lian into the old library and began to read.
The Apocalypse Realm in the sixth realm requires the approval of Haotian, and then borrowing power from Haotian, so it is temporarily passed by Gongsun Ce.
However, Gongsun Ce was able to reversely deduce the secret art of borrowing power based on the realm of Apocalypse, so that the young women with less talent in his backyard could borrow some power from him.
You can not use the power, but you can not have it. Gongsun Ce can even let Ying Zheng borrow some power to achieve the goal of deifying himself.
After all, Gongsun Ce's goal was to have the king's power granted by God, so in addition to the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, Gongsun Ce also needed to show his prowess occasionally.
At present, Gongsun Ce has no idea of studying the realm of apocalypse. He thinks it is more important to achieve the infinity of Buddhism and the nirvana of Taoism.
For the sake of his eyes and brain, Gongsun Ce decided to read Taoist books first.
Because the Buddhist practitioners in the Ever Night world all have some problems in their brains. Most of them are high-sounding but have blood on their hands.
Gongsun Ce was really worried that reading Buddhist books would affect his brain.
After all, Yanling Tianyan can only be regarded as an amplifier. How much effect it can have depends on basic brain power. If your brain is broken, Yanling Tianyan can't save it.
When the Master traveled around the world, he collected almost all the classics of the night world in the old book building, so Gongsun Ce could easily find the Taoist classics.
The Taoist scriptures are relatively normal, but they are basically centered around the further deterioration of the pure state, that is, they focus on cultivating the mind.
Of course, there were also some praises for Haotian and admirations for gamblers, which were automatically filtered out by Gongsun Ce.
All the countries in the Ever Night world are criticizing the Tang State for having no faith, but the Tang State with its academy is the most normal one. Its residents are confident and will not blindly follow Haotian.
This gave Gongsun Ce a warning. He wanted supreme divine power, but at the same time he wanted all his subjects to be sober. Not to say that everyone should be like a dragon, but at least he wanted their thoughts not to be outdated.
Gongsun Ce rubbed his eyebrows, stopped thinking about the issue of divine power, and continued to read Taoist classics.
After blocking out a bunch of unnecessary information, Gongsun Ce began to absorb the valuable information in the Taoist classics, including his in-depth research on the Qi Sea and Snow Mountain, the techniques for using the Heaven and Earth Force, and his understanding of the Dao of Arrays and the Dao of Talismans...
I can only say that it is worthy of being a Taoist classic that was passed down to awaken Haotian, and it is full of useful information.
Yu Lian, who was copying a book downstairs, stopped writing. She walked forward a few steps, looked up through the railing on the second floor at Gongsun Ce.
She saw that what Gongsun Ce was holding could only be a basic book among Taoist classics, and not some profound method of cultivation. She raised her eyebrows, then returned to her seat and continued writing.
"Don't be curious. I am indeed improving my basics." Gongsun Ce sent a voice message to Yu Lian, "I can sense that your heart is not calm enough. Can you tell me about it?"
"Nothing much to say, just a little bit of wind and frost."
Yu Lian spoke calmly, but the moment he put pen to paper, the ink spread over a large area, ruining the piece of white paper.
"I can sense hatred, so how is your enemy now?"
Facing Gongsun Ce's question, Yu Lian was silent for a moment, then she replied: "I don't know."
"I know some basic divination skills, and I can tell that your enemy is not dead, and he lives in the old place where you and he lived together."
"Crack!"
Yu Lian broke the brush with one hand. Her breathing was completely disordered. There were some things she thought she could let go of, but now it seems she can't.
At the Demon Sect's mountain gate, Yu Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I don't know if this is the result of Sir's calculation, or if Sir knows something, but I have let it go."
"Revenge is not happy until it is taken, and hatred will not disappear, it will only make you numb. Do you still remember the face of your enemy? Do you still remember why you hate him?"
Gongsun Ce's voice transmission was like a heavy hammer hitting Yu Lian's heart.
As Gongsun Ce was reading the book, he suddenly thought of Lian Sheng Sanshier. Although this fellow was not as proficient in all aspects of the sixth realm as Chen, he was also a ruthless person who practiced the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism.
Gongsun Ce thought that instead of practicing on his own, it would be better to just rob. It would be the same if he could gain insights after robbing.
It would be great if we could plunder the Buddhist's immeasurable and Taoist's nirvana from Liansheng Sanzi, and at the same time take a look at the interconnected thoughts of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism.
However, Gongsun Ce did not know the exact location of the Demon Sect’s mountain gate, nor did he know how to open the barrier formation outside the Demon Sect’s mountain gate.
If he forced his way in, Gongsun Ce was not sure whether it would directly lead to the collapse of the Demon Sect's mountain gate, and then cause Lian Sheng Sanshier to be crushed to death.
I am not afraid of small profits, but I am afraid of no profits or even small losses.
After Yu Lian tried hard to calm her breath, she temporarily blocked out Gongsun Ce's words. She seemed to be thinking, so Gongsun Ce temporarily gave up the idea of luring Yu Lian to the Demon Sect's mountain gate.
Gongsun Ce continued reading. Time passed by minute by minute. Just three months later, Gongsun Ce successfully finished reading all the Taoist classics on cultivation.
As for books such as miscellaneous notes, Gongsun Ce has not read them for the time being.
The Taoist nirvana is the realm of Taoism. The chill from ancient times countless kalpas ago can cause the magical powers and Taoism to dissipate.
In other words, this realm can proactively resolve the opponent's attack and use cold air to wipe out these forces.
The magical powers in the Ever Night world are basically achieved through vital energy. In other words, the magical power of annihilation targets vital energy. As long as the vital energy is frozen, the opponent will not be able to use magical powers.
However, how to obtain and use this cold energy becomes a problem.
Suppressing his confusion, Gongsun Ce left the old library and headed for the back mountain of the academy.
Since there is no way to break through, try to upgrade the Sun-Covering Sword and the Heavenly Question Sword first.
The dragon scales in the Dragon Scale Sword have already established a connection with Gongsun Ce. The stronger Gongsun Ce is, the stronger the Dragon Scale Sword is. This means that Gongsun Ce does not have to actively upgrade the Dragon Scale Sword.
However, the Sun-Blanking Sword and the Heavenly Question Sword do not have this ability. They urgently need to be upgraded, otherwise Gongsun Ce will soon eliminate them.
Therefore, Gongsun Ce found Lao Liu who was forging iron, and asked him in a voice transmission: "I have two swords, and I hope to get the help of Mr. Liu to get promoted."
The blacksmith glanced at Gongsun Ce, then temporarily put down the work in his hands. He wiped his hands on his trouser legs, then stretched out his hands to Gongsun Ce.
"Please, Mr. Gongsun, hand me the sword so I can see it."
Gongsun Ce took off the Tianwen Sword and Yanri Sword from his waist and handed them to the blacksmith.
The blacksmith pulled out two swords and looked at them. Then he flicked his fingers at the blades of the two swords respectively.
"Swish~"*2
The blacksmith stared at the Sun-Covering Sword and the Tianwen Sword for a long time, as if he was still savoring the sound of the swords just now.
"The materials of these two swords are very special. I'm afraid they will need some special materials if they are to be recast."
Gongsun Ce took out some dragon scales and dragon blood from his arms. These were the materials left by the Master after Xunzi killed the five-clawed golden dragon.
After Gongsun Ce came to the back mountain of the academy, the teacher handed these things to Gongsun Ce. At this moment, Gongsun Ce just wanted to see if the blacksmith could use these materials.
"Yes, but it will take at least some time to complete the recasting, and I will need Mr. Gongsun's assistance."
"Sure." Gongsun Ce sent a voice message to the blacksmith, "How can I help you?"
"First, I need fire. I need Mr. Gongsun to use his telekinesis to strengthen the flames and melt the blade. Secondly, I need Mr. Gongsun to use his telekinesis to help me carve runes. I wonder if you are a rune master?"
"Of course it's the Talisman Master. What are the next steps?" Gongsun Ce continued to ask via voice transmission.
The blacksmith continued, "The final step is to give the sword spirit. You need to inject your blood into the blade to give it spirit and subdue the sword."
Gongsun Ce nodded to show his agreement, and then the blacksmith began to lick the firewood. The fire on the firewood was just a fuse. The real fire that burned the two swords required Gongsun Ce to use his mental power to intensify the fire.
The famous sword has a spirit. If they want to recast the two swords 100% to suit Gongsun Ce, they must ask Gongsun Ce's assistance. Their mental power is connected to their own Qi, so the famous sword will be imbued with Gongsun Ce's aura from the beginning of the recast.
He stretched out one hand and merged his mental power into the flames above the stove.
With the help of Gongsun Ce's mental power, the flame became even hotter and more vigorous.
At the same time, Gongsun Ce used the Word Spirit: Blazing to amplify the flames a second time.
"Great!" the blacksmith exclaimed. "With Mr. Gongsun's help, this sword will surely be recast faster."
The blacksmith took a deep breath, picked up the Sun-Covering Sword with an iron clamp, and gently put it into the furnace.
The flames instantly enveloped the Sun-Covering Sword, making a "hissing" sound.
Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the changes in the flames.
He could clearly feel the Sun-Covering Sword gradually melting in the flames and returning to its original form.
Gongsun Ce's mental power gradually merged into the Sun-Covering Sword and was closely connected with the Sun-Covering Sword that was about to melt.
At this moment, the blacksmith took out several dragon scales of the five-clawed golden dragon given to him by Gongsun Ce and threw them into the furnace without hesitation.
The dragon scales quickly melted in the flames and merged into one with the Sun-Covering Sword.
A powerful aura emanated from the stove, shocking the entire mountain behind the academy.
Gongsun Ce opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He knew that this was the critical moment for the Sun-Covering Sword to be recast.
As the fire in the furnace steamed, the dragon scales and the Sun-Covering Sword had completely melted, forming a pool of molten iron that sparkled with black and gold light.
The blacksmith quickly took out the molten iron and poured it into the mold that had been prepared long ago.
The molten iron in the mold began to cool slightly and gradually condensed into the shape of a sword.
The blacksmith stared at the molten iron in the mold, waiting for the best moment.
When the molten iron cooled to a certain degree, he shouted to Gongsun Ce: "Mr. Gongsun! Quick! Start carving runes!"
Gongsun Ce nodded, raised his right index finger, and carved five runes in the air: light, darkness, space, sharp, and fire.
These runes jumped on Gongsun Ce's fingertips as if they had life.
These runes correspond to the original properties of the Sun-Covering Sword: absorbing light, creating an alien space, being extremely sharp and hot.
Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and punched the rune into the mold.
The runes drew graceful arcs in the air and finally landed on the sword embryo.
With the blessing of the runes, the sword embryo began to emit a dazzling light, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.
Seeing this, the blacksmith quickly picked up the sword blank with iron clamps and began to hammer it.
His movements were swift and powerful, and every blow made the sword blank harder and sharper.
"Ding, ding, ding..." The knocking sound continued, echoing in every corner of the sword forge. Soon, the blacksmith firmly fixed the rune on the sword embryo, making it merge with the sword embryo.
The next step was the crucial moment of quenching. The blacksmith carefully took out a bottle of dragon blood and poured it into the pool beside him.
The dragon blood in the pool quickly spread out, forming a red sea of blood.
The blacksmith put the sword embryo into the dragon blood to complete the quenching. After absorbing the dragon blood, the sword embryo became darker and harder, and the runes on the sword embryo also began to emit a black and golden divine light as it was soaked in the dragon blood.
After quenching, the blacksmith carefully removed the sword blank from the dragon's blood.
At this time, the sword embryo has been fully formed, with runes wrapped around the sword body, and all the runes are filled with dragon blood, making them full and bright.
The inscription gradually emerged on the sword embryo - Cover the Sun. These two words seemed to have infinite magic power, making people dare not look directly at them.
At this moment, the blacksmith shouted loudly: "Mr. Gongsun! Put your blood into the sword! Complete the recognition of the master!"
Gongsun Ce nodded and gently cut the tip of his thumb with his middle finger nail.
A drop of bright red blood condensed on the fingertips, sparkling with crystal light.
Then he snapped his fingers and the blood flowed into the Sun-Covering Sword.
The moment the blood sank into the sword, it seemed to have triggered some mysterious power, and the inscription on the Sun-Covering Sword took shape completely, emitting a dazzling light.
The entire blacksmith shop was shrouded in this light, as if it was in a mysterious and solemn palace.
Gongsun Ce looked at the Sun-Covering Sword in front of him with satisfaction in his eyes. He could feel that the Sun-Covering Sword and his compatibility had reached an extremely high level.
The light from the Sun-Covering Sword then dimmed, plunging the entire blacksmith shop into darkness.
Not long after, everything returned to calm and Gongsun Ce regained control of the Sun-Covering Sword.
To the blacksmith's surprise, the Sun-Covering Sword did not have any resistance to Gongsun Ce.
The blacksmith had never seen such a scene before. Even if the blade was recast, it would still have a certain rebellious psychology when facing its original owner. At this time, the original owner needed to forcefully subdue the blade.
A famous sword has its own spirit. When its power increases, it will naturally become a little inflated and think that the original owner is not worthy of it.
At this time, the original owner needs to wake it up and tell it who is the owner.
“Famous swords have spirits and may indeed turn against their masters, but the prerequisite is that the master is not strong enough and the degree of compatibility is not high enough.” Gongsun Ce said calmly.
The blacksmith nodded when he heard Gongsun Ce's voice transmission. It was indeed true. Then the blacksmith took a few steps back and sat on a chair beside him.
“Mr. Gongsun, it took a whole day to recast this sword, and the other sword will take even longer.
At this point, my mental and physical strength were no longer enough to support me in continuing to forge the sword.
Therefore, if Mr. Gongsun wants to continue to reforge another sword, I am afraid you will need to wait a few days, until I gather my strength and find the right materials for the eight scenes. "
Gongsun Ce touched his chin. It was true. The material of the Sun-Blanking Sword was easy to deal with, but the material of the Heavenly Question Sword could not be sloppy.
The Tianwen Sword is a famous sword that conforms to the Emperor's Sword in Zhuangzi's theory of swordsmanship. Therefore, if one wants to recast the Tianwen Sword, the materials required are rather special, and may require materials containing the aura of the Eight Scenes of Heaven and Earth.
Qian——Meteorite from outer space, this thing is easy to find. However, the Evernight world has a specialty, that is Haotian, you can collect some Haotian Shenhui and Sangsang's hair as a substitute.
Kan - the essence of water, can be replaced by dragon blood. In fact, the cold air of the Taoist Nirvana realm can also be used as a substitute.
Gen - the core of the mountain. The Buddha of the Buddhist sect transformed into the Prajna Mountain. Gongsun Ce was ready to dig out his heart.
Xun - the essence of wind. This thing is hard to find, but Gongsun Ce himself can use his own dragon scales to temporarily contain the wind element.
Kun - the essence of the earth. The boundless realm of Buddhism condenses the earth's energy. Gongsun Ce thinks he can throw the chief lecturer in there.
Li - the ultimate of fire, used to melt the Tianwen Sword. Gongsun Ce can use the Word Spirit·Chi.
Dui - the essence of swamp, in simple terms, it is biogas.
Zhen - plants that survive being struck by lightning, such as peach trees struck by lightning.
After thinking about the eight scenes, Gongsun Ce suddenly realized that as long as he persecuted Liansheng Sanshier, he could obtain the cold air of nirvana and the infinite condensed earth energy of the Buddhist sect.
"This matter cannot be rushed, so I will go and collect the materials myself. Mr. Liu, please restore your telekinesis as soon as possible."
Hearing Gongsun Ce's message, the blacksmith nodded, then he stood up, extinguished the fire, and lay back in the chair. His expression was tired but full of satisfaction.
Gongsun Ce could probably understand the blacksmith's feelings at the moment. If you really think about it, the quality of the Sun-Covering Sword is even better than Xiahou's Ming Guang Armor.
The materials used to make the Sun-Covering Sword are of high quality, and Gongsun Ce is the most accomplished talisman master. Add to that the dragon scales and blood of a five-clawed golden dragon, and it is enough to raise the strength of the Sun-Covering Sword to a very high level.
Gongsun Ce glanced at the blacksmith who had fallen asleep, then took a step forward and walked towards the old book building.
Gongsun Ce glanced at Yu Lian who was copying a book and asked in a voice transmission: "How is it? Are you interested in killing your great enemy?"
“I want to, but I don’t want to. The past is the past, and the present is the present.” Yu Lian pretended to be calm.
"Then give me the key. I want to enter the Demon Sect's mountain gate."
"Key?" Yu Lian opened her palm towards Gongsun Ce. In her palm was the Demon Sect's leader's ring. "It is this thing, but I can't give it to you."
"why?"
"Maybe, I really haven't thought it through yet."
"Well." Gongsun Ce continued to transmit his voice to Yu Lian, "I'm going to Taoshan. When I come back, I hope you've made your choice."
After saying this, Gongsun Ce took a step forward and used his unparalleled magical power to arrive at the foot of Taoshan Mountain.
Taoshan is the headquarters of the Xiling Temple. In addition to the Tang Kingdom as a big country, there are many small countries in the world of Jiangye, and these countries are all subject to the Xiling Temple.
In addition to the fact that Xiling Temple is the temple that spreads the faith in Haotian, the Xiling cavalry and the practitioners of Xiling Temple also play a significant role.
In the past, Xiling Temple was the largest force in the world of Ever Night.
It was not until Ke Haoran drew his sword and pointed it to the sky and was killed by Haotian that the teacher of Ke Haoran's senior brother came to Taoshan.
The head of Xiling Temple, the bear haunted who is at the sixth level of Tianqi realm, and the chief lecturer of the sixth level of Wuliang realm in the Hanging Temple.
They are the strongest people in the world. They brought a group of people but failed to stop the Master from going to Peach Mountain. After the Master went to Peach Mountain, he cut down all the peach blossoms on the mountain, defeated the master Chen, and exiled the master to Hainan.
From then on, people all over the world saw the tip of the iceberg of the Master's strength.
Therefore, when Gongsun Ce stepped into Taoshan, what he saw were empty peach trees.
Cutting down the peach blossoms not only knocks down the peach flowers, but also knocks down the vitality of the peach trees. On this peach mountain, only a very few trees can bloom again.
"Young man, Taoshan is not a place you can set foot on. Back off."
At this time, Chen's voice sounded in Gongsun Ce's ears, and Gongsun Ce naturally understood what Chen meant.
He was not afraid that Gongsun Ce would cause trouble in Taoshan, but he was afraid that Gongsun Ce would go to Zhishou Temple and steal the heavenly book.
The Heavenly Book is very important to the entire Taoist sect and even the world of Jiangye.
Because this is the item that Haotian gives to the gambler after the gambler wins the bet with Haotian. It can restrain Haotian and even replace Haotian's artifact.
A thousand years ago, the Great Priest of Light took away the Heavenly Book of Ming and founded the Demon Sect. Since then, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book of Ming has been unknown.
Ever since Chen was defeated by the Master, he has had corresponding ambitions and he wants power.
Therefore, the eighth realm of purity and Haotian’s power were both part of his plan.
It’s just that the Master is his psychological shadow, which makes it difficult for him to break through the state of purity.
Since the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book were incomplete, he couldn't do anything to Haotian, so he could only continue to stand on the wooden board and drift on the South China Sea.
"Chen?" Gongsun Ce sent a message to the abbot, "If you dare to appear in front of me, why would I leave Taoshan?"
"you!"
The abbot was a little angry, but when he wanted to take a step back to Taoshan, a short stick appeared in front of him. This was the weapon of the master, who was also the warden of the abbot.
The master of the temple looked at the short stick in front of him with fear and stopped moving forward.
At the same time, a Confucian figure appeared above the South China Sea.
"Confucian Xunzi has come to challenge the abbot Chen."
Xunzi's voice echoed over the South China Sea. Even if the master of the temple was unwilling to accept the challenge, he had no choice but to accept the challenge.
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but grin when he saw what happened in the South China Sea. The old man was quite protective of his people.
Afterwards, Gongsun Ce walked slowly up Peach Mountain. If the peach blossoms on both sides of the road were in bloom, it would be a beautiful sight on earth. Unfortunately, this was impossible.
At this time, the South China Sea was rippling with blue waves and the sea breeze was blowing gently.
Suddenly, a wave arose on the sea, and Xunzi walked on the waves. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to be perfectly in tune with the rhythm of the waves.
Not long after Xunzi walked on the waves, he found a floating wooden board on the sea. At this moment, the master of the temple was also waiting for Xunzi's arrival.
Faced with Xunzi's challenge, Chen would not evade. After all, in the eyes of the master, Xunzi could only be considered a junior.
The master looked at Xunzi, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he took the initiative to attack. He said softly: "The light is immortal, and Haotian will last forever."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light suddenly descended from the sky. The light was dazzling and bright, like a gift from God.
This is Haotian Divine Glory, the power that the master of the temple borrowed from Haotian at the sixth level of the Revelation Realm.
The divine light of Haotian, with enormous power, attacked Xunzi like a violent storm.
Xunzi's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this. He took off the ruler from his waist and waved it lightly. The ruler then turned into a stream of light and struck towards Haotian's divine light.
At the moment when the ruler collided with Haotian Divine Light, no sound was made, as if time and space had solidified at this moment.
